11TODO: MS_xxx 12 - make fh argument of IO::AIO::mmap optional, also add mmap/munmap
13 to quick overview.
14 - splice can corrupt data.
15
164.15 Tue Apr 10 06:59:00 CEST 2012
17 - always include linux/types.h for fiemap, for compatibility to
18 ancient systems (Paul Howarth).
19 - experimental support for IO::AIO::splice and ::tee (no aio_...).
20 - provide SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, if available.
21 - work around (again!) an immensely stupid bug in RHEL, defining
22 autoconf macros in linux system headers (analysed by Paul Howarth).
23
244.14 Sat Apr 7 02:45:18 CEST 2012
25 - fix stat structure usage on windows, which caused bogus stat results.
26 - (libeio) make readahead emulation behave more like actual readahead by never failing.
27 - new request aio_seek.
28 - new request aio_fiemap.
29 - autogenerate the #ifdef/#define 0 blocks for symbols we export.
30
314.12 Fri Dec 30 08:51:25 CET 2011
32 - realpath would return a random value if the name was too long,
33 instead of -1.
34 - port to c89.
35
364.11 Mon Oct 10 00:24:11 CEST 2011
37 - libeio didn't compile on !linux (Paul Howarth).
38
394.1 Sun Oct 9 10:24:11 CEST 2011
40 - IO::AIO did access uninitialised memory on unsuccessful stats.
41 - (libeio) added syncfs syscall wrapper.
42 - (libeio) set thread name on linux (ps -L/Hcx, top, gdb).
43 - (libeio) support multiple indepenent working directories.
44 - applied speling corrections by Nicholas Bamber.
45 - tune treescan #threads and #outstanding requests a bit.
46 - reduce the number of file descriptors in use at any one time
47 in treescan, to avoid running out of them (and using too much ram).
48 - take advantage of working directoriy abstractions
49 in aio_scandir and treescan.
50 - reduce compiled size by ~10% by not inlining some key functionality.
51 - added --progress switch to treescan.
52
534.0 Mon Jul 18 05:01:10 CEST 2011
54 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: fork is no longer supported (indeed, it never was),
55 see FORK BEHAVIOUR in manpage for details.
56 - passes testsuite on win32 now and may actually work
57 (activestate 5.10.1 / MSVC6, YMMV).
58 - (libeio) fix a deadlock where a wakeup signal could be missed when
59 a timeout occured at the same time.
60 - (libeio) added realpath.
61 - (libeio) added fallocate.
62 - (libeio) disabling sendfile on darwin unfortunately broke the emulation.
63 - (libeio) do not acquire any locks when forking.
64 - (libeio) use fewer time() syscalls when waiting for new requests.
65
663.93 Wed Jun 29 23:44:18 CEST 2011
67 - ECB.H WAS MISSING.
68
693.92 Wed Jun 29 14:45:41 CEST 2011
70 - ecb.h was missing.
71
723.91 Wed Jun 29 13:24:42 CEST 2011
73 - (libeio) work around a Linux (and likely FreeBSD and other
74 kernels) bug where sendfile would not transfer all the requested
75 bytes on large transfers, using a heuristic.
76 - buggy sendfile caused aio_move/copy to sometimes fail for big
77 files (fortunately it checks that the whole file has been
78 transferred...)
79 - use libecb for higher performance and higher portability.
80 - (libeio) disable sendfile on darwin, it's too broken.
81 - disable fork tests on !linux, as only linux supports mixing
82 pthread and fork in perl.
83 - document the fact that fork doesn't work anymore when using
84 this module, on anything !GNU/Linux.
85 - increase timeout in t/04_fork.t, as too many CPAN-tester setups
86 run on a 0.1MHz cpu. Or so.

15 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST. 90 combination READDIR_STAT_ORDER | READDIR_DIRS_FIRST.
16 - add lots of newre POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open 91 - add lots of newer POSIX and GNU/Linux-specific open

21 - support a max_idle value of 0. 96 - support a max_idle value of 0.
